Is this art...?

[Azadre]

I decided I was going to lay some paint in photoshop while not being in one of the sanest moods. Do you like it, is it art?

 

[cgannon64]

I like it.

I dont' know if I'd call it art, but its definetely cool.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

it would be better if you actually painted it

 

[Karl Lenin]

Yes, it's art if it portrays the not sane mood you mentioned.

 

[Trixxx]

I think that it is rather intriguing
I love it!

 

[Lord Draegon]

Of course that's art. That's so awesome

 

[WillJ]

If you find a good agent you could probably make a couple million dollars off it.

 

[Pontiuth Pilate]

Not unless he gives it a really obscure and meaningless title.

"Meditations on the Number U."

 

[CivCube]

Art is what you make of it. Of course it is.

 

[Giotto]

If this is considered art (and it is, Ellsworth Kelly is considered one of the greatest minimalist painters of the post-abstract-expressionist period) then yes, your's is definitly art

 

[Johann MacLeod]

Giotto has a point

 

[privatehudson]

It's nice, but not art to me personally. I don't hold with this overall theory of modern art, I like my art to look like something I can recognise sorry

It's still nice though

Its title is Untitled - 1

 

[Sarevok]

not bad..

I'd call it "Angry Elvis and the Happy Starfish"

There was a painting at the art museum in Ottawa not too long ago. I forget the exact name ... something like "Voice of Fire". It consisted of three adjacent vertical lines, each a different colour. They actually bothered erecting security fences around it ... but probably to protect the painting from bats, chains and torches, not thieves.

Sometimes in art it seems to be entirely about who you know and how you've created your image. Those other images and pieces of junk you paint and craft are only props.

Seriously, I have never seen that painting before, but I like it a lot.

I'll make you one with no blue stripe (even more minimalist!) for $1000!

"Modern Art" is so painfully embarassing. Artistically, we have declined so far in the last couple centuries.

 

[stratego]

I think you can make a lot of money selling art like this. But you can't claim its yours though. You have to credit it to some dead guy, because people always appreciate dead guys art more than life guys.

^ Very true.

My art teacher has told me that the current trend however is a return to realist. Out with the old, in with the even older.
